Appendix
• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation ................. 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge ..................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage..................... -20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
• Using, charging, or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten
battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from
the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
• Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting
conditions or batteries.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase
an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be
difficult to obtain while traveling.
• Please recycle batteries to help save our planet’s resources. When you
throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always
observe local laws and regulations.
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague,
resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a
malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear
zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable
in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time
to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in
extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm
place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures
will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology.
However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the
LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing
the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not
a malfunction.
